Most people ive seen usually say "LOOK HE FIXEC AND USES YAMATO HE MUST VE VERGILS SON" thats the only reason I say that

I have to disagree with the DT part. It has the same basic template of Dante and Vergils DMC3 DTs but the only resemblance is the sheath arm, and that different in design and can be a result of Yamatos influence/first DT with Yamato rather than an association with Vergil. It also has no resemblence to Nelo Angelo at all except for the horns things, but Dantes DMC2 DDT had that. They are also slightly different http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120108151011/devilmaycry/images/8/8d/Devil_May_Cry_4_Artbook_p31.jpg

As for Vergils motivations & mindset, he lost his mom at 8, and to me, seems he has Big Brother Syndrome in which he is the protector and responsible for keeping the family safe in Spardas absence. I get this vibe from the manga in which he actively fights the demons as a child, he offers words of his "wisdom" to Dante, and even tells him to leave the demon world lest he be trapped. He feels he holds responsibility for his mothers death and at the age of 8, that kind of trauma leaves you broken, and Vergil wants power to compensate for his failure. Kind of like how some people will desperately seek acceptance and engage in negative/self-destructive behavior when a parent walks out on them. I feel even once Vergil got that power he still would have felt weak and the need to gain more power. It also doesnt make sense for him to knowingly damn the human world if someone he loves is still in it. He even made a remark in the manga that the human world will be swallowed. In DMC3 if you examine certain places Dante will comment on all the destruction and how no ones around and thats either because they hopefully got away or were killed. At the end of DMC3 there are tanks at the base of Temen-Ni-Gru .Also Vergil wouldnt have stayed in Hell if there was someone in the human world. Just makes no sense.
